CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

Korean Patent Application No. 10-2014-0188648, filed on Dec. 24, 2014, in the Korean Intellectual Property Office, and entitled: “Condensed-Cyclic Compound and Organic Light Emitting Device Comprising The Same,” is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.

BACKGROUND

1. Field

Embodiments relate to a condensed-cyclic compound and an organic light-emitting device including the same.

2. Description of the Related Art

Organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) are self-emission devices that have wide viewing angles, high contrast ratios, and short response times. The OLEDs may exhibit excellent luminance, driving voltage, and response speed characteristics, and produce full-color images.

The organic light-emitting device may include a first electrode disposed on a substrate, and a hole transport region, an emission layer, an electron transport region, and a second electrode, which are sequentially disposed on the first electrode. Holes provided from the first electrode may move toward the emission layer through the hole transport region, and electrons provided from the second electrode may move toward the emission layer through the electron transport region. The holes and the electrons may be recombined in the emission layer to produce excitons. These excitons change from an excited state to a ground state to thereby generate light.

Example 1

A 15 ohms per square centimeter (Ω/cm²) (1,200 Å (Angstroms)) ITO glass substrate (available from Corning Co., Ltd) was cut to a size of 50 millimeters (mm)×50 mm×0.7 mm, sonicated in isopropyl alcohol and pure water for 5 minutes in each solvent, cleaned with ultraviolet rays for 30 minutes, and then ozone, and was mounted on a vacuum deposition apparatus.

Compound HT13 was vacuum-deposited on the ITO anode of the glass substrate to form a hole injection layer having a thickness of about 600 Å. Then, Compound HT3 was vacuum-deposited on the hole injection layer to form a hole transport layer having a thickness of about 300 Å, thereby forming a hole transport region.

9,10-di-naphthalene-2-yl-anthracene (ADN), which is a host, and Compound 7, which is a dopant, were co-deposited on the hole transport region at a weight ratio of about 98:2, thereby forming an emission layer having a thickness of about 300 Å.

Alq₃ was vacuum-deposited on the emission layer to form an electron transport layer having a thickness of about 300 Å. Then, LiF was vacuum-deposited on the electron transport layer to form an electron injection layer having a thickness of about 10 Å, thereby forming an electron transport region.

Aluminum was vacuum-deposited on the electron transport region to form a cathode having a thickness of about 3,000 Å, thereby completing the manufacture of an organic light-emitting device.

Examples 2 to 9

Organic light-emitting devices were manufactured in the same manner as in Example 1, except that Compounds 18, 21, 32, 36, 46, 52, 64, and 79 were used as a dopant instead of Compound 7 to form the emission layer.

Comparative Examples 1 to 4

Organic light-emitting devices were manufactured in the same manner as in Example 1, except that TPD and Compounds A to C were used as a dopant instead of Compound 7 to form the emission layer.

Evaluation Example 1

The driving voltage, current density, luminance, efficiency, and half-lifespan of the organic light-emitting devices manufactured according to Examples 1 to 9, and Comparative Examples 1 to 4 were measured by using Kethley SMU 236 and a luminance meter PR650, and results thereof are shown in Table 2. The half-lifespan indicates a period of time required for the luminance of the organic light-emitting device to reach 50% with respect to an initial luminance.

Referring to Table 2, it may be seen that the organic light-emitting devices manufactured according to Examples 1 to 9 exhibited improved driving voltage, improved luminance, improved efficiency, and improved half-lifespan, compared to the organic light-emitting devices manufactured according to Comparative Examples 1 to 4.

For example, Compound A only includes a boryl group, and Compound B does not include a pyrene core, and thus, the organic light-emitting devices prepared in Comparative Examples 2 and 3 may have low efficiency and lifespan compared to those prepared in Examples 1 to 9. In addition, Compound C includes a perylene-based core, and thus, emission wavelength of the organic light-emitting device prepared in Comparative Example 4 may be shifted to a longer wavelength region, compared to emission wavelengths of the organic light-emitting devices prepared in Examples 1 to 9, and the organic light-emitting device prepared in Comparative Example 4 may have a broad emission wavelength (e.g., a wave length having a relatively large full width at half maximum (FWHM)) due to intermolecular reaction of Compound C. Thus, the organic light-emitting device prepared in Comparative Example 4 may have a low efficiency compared to efficiencies of the organic light-emitting devices prepared in Examples 1 to 9.

As described above, according to the one or more of the above exemplary embodiments, the organic light-emitting device including the condensed-cyclic compound may have a low driving voltage, high efficiency, high luminance, and long lifespan.
